Simpler Recycling rules take effect
New rules on how workplaces must sort their waste and recycling have taken effect from 31 March. What are the key changes to be aware of?
The so-called Simpler Recycling rules require workplaces with ten or more employees to arrange for the collection of the following:
- dry recyclables such as plastic, metal, glass, paper and card
- food waste
- non-recyclable waste.
Note. You'll need to separate paper and card from other recyclables unless your waste contractor collects them together.
You'll have the freedom to decide on the size of container and frequency of collection based on how much waste your business produces. Work with your waste contractor here.
You will be required to separate your food waste, no matter how small the quantity generated. This is to prevent food waste going to landfill.
